ABSTRACT:
A method of insulating a building having a foundation wall disposed at least partially below grade includes substantially covering the exterior surface of the foundation wall with panels of insulation material, securing the panels thereto with flanged retaining members interposed between adjacent edges of adjacent panels. The retaining members are secured to the foundation wall with the flanges thereof partially overlying the adjacent panels. The top edge of the insulation material is then covered to prevent the impingement of water and foreign matter onto the top edge and between the panels and foundation wall.
A system for securing panels of insulation material to the exterior surface of a building foundation wall includes a plurality of flanged retaining members, each including a base portion and at least one flange laterally extended from the base portion to overly a panel in abutment with the base portion. The system contemplates securing the base portions to the exterior foundation wall surface and protecting the top edge of the panels with an elongated rain shield adapted for securement to the exterior wall surface and including a downwardly and outwardly inclined top surface for directing water, foreign matter and the like exteriorly of the panels and retaining members. Those portions of the panels and retaining members which are exposed above grade may be covered with siding or the like.
